What are the two options?

Option 9: Four level flyover

This proposal outlines that the A3 will be increased to four lanes from three between junction 10 and Painshill.

Traffic joining the M25 from the A3 will use free-flow slip roads, avoiding the roundabout while traffic joining the A3 from the M25 continues to use the existing roundabout.

The A3 will be increased from three to four lanes between Ockham and junction 10.

The existing pedestrian, cyclist and horse rider crossings will be maintained.

Option 14 : Elongated roundabout and local access route improvements

(Cost: £152.5 million)

The second option is option 14 below, an elongated roundabout and local access route improvements.

The elongated roundabout incorporates additional lanes to improve capacity and there are dedicated left turns.

It would sit at the same level as the current roundabout while the existing roundabout will be retained for pedestrian, cyclist and horse rider crossings.

The A3 would be increased to four lanes from three between junction 10 and both Painshill and Ockham.

How did the consultation go?

A spokesman for Highways England said: "On the whole everyone has been very pleased with the level of interest during the consultation.

"All views and comments will now be considered and summarised in our public consultation report."

Oh no, I didn't make it to the consultation! Can I still have my say?

If you didn't have a chance to make it to any of the public exhibitions, don't worry as there will be further opportunities to have your say at a second public consultation, on a date to be announced, plus a final third chance to voice your opinions on the plans.

Now the consultation is over, what's the next stage?

A spokesman said Highways England will:

make sure potential impacts on the community and environment have been fully considered

ensure the final scheme design considers all relevant responses where applicable

ensure the final environmental statement takes into account impacts and mitigation measures you have told us about

record how we have considered feedback to develop the scheme further within our consultation report

"After the second consultation, we will apply for a Development Consent Order. This means a planning application has to be sent to the Planning Inspectorate (PINS), which examines the scheme and operates their own public consultation, known as examination.
